i'd say with that turbo you'll need injectors and fuel pump to be able to run any real amount of boost. i also assume you have a hiflowing exhaust system?

therefore you will need some form of aftermarket management and a tune. whether it is as crude as a SAFC through to a remap or a full aftermarket system (depending on your budget).

you say you are a drifter. more power helps but a clutch, agood lsd and suspension setup (as extreme as you want to go) will make it easier to drift and give you greater control

obviously it all depends on your budget. just keep your eye out on here for bargains on the parts you need

suspension you'll need for sure and tyres...lots of tyres!

even if you do get the pump and injectors the car will run like shit it want be able to control the injectors i dont think get a emange or something there cheap or dr drift re-map!

pod filter and box + cai or high flowing panel filter

3in exhaust, high flow cat

fmic and piping

you already have turbo so you will need

fuel pump, injectors, ecu/tune

boost control method... ebc or otherwise

z32 afm... maybe

clutch

spend money on handling/braking to make it managable (and more fun imo) to drive unless you want to drag (:thumbsdown)

mentioned above is probably more than two grand. the fact that you have chosen a large turbo means you'll require the extra fuel system items to make used of the turbo.

only tip is to do what you can yourself to assist the budget and yer keep an eye out for deals on the forums

Stole the words right out of my mouth :dry:

More Power = MORE AIR + MORE FUEL

If one of these is missing in the equation = DETONATION

Id also use an oil cooler and surge tank to be safe...that is of course

you want to drift safely... :O

to start with i already run coilovers and a 550hp heavy duty cluch i have a 3inch exaust turbo back got a pod and a massive afm and already got a boost controller

You have a stock AFM

as, if you have a stock ECU, then you wont be running a "Massive" AFM.

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
